Hi If you live outside England then you can look up the names of all the towns and villages in Yorkshire in Genuki. _http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Where/_ (http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Where/) If there is a letter in brackets after the name (N) North riding, (W) West Riding (E) East riding. There is no South Riding. I did have a look for Martin-cum-Grafton and as a name it is not there but Grafton is there and so Martin-cum-Grafton means near Grafton so do not give up. Haxby is there in the North Riding. Hope this helps, Regards JUDY ELKINGTON [W.R.Yorkshire, England] www.elkingtonfamily.com ELKINGTON@rootsweb.com www.one-name.org/profiles/elkington.html
